Impact of Globalization Derra Gibler Western Governors University Abstract Globalization as the influence of modern nations over non-developed or traditional peoples has affected indigenous peoples the world over. I will discuss two such examples of the impact of globalization, the Aboriginal peoples and European settlement and the Spanish Imperialism of the Philippine Islands. The Europeans had a direct impact on the Aboriginals as they landed on an inhabited continent and claimed it as though it was theirs by right. They saw Aboriginals as enemies and as the settlers had modern guns were better armed for the conflict. Not all settlers considered themselves enemies of the natives but sought to better the lives of the natives and so had a second unintentional effect of introducing disease for which the natives had no immunity (Department of Aboriginal Affairs, 2011).
The war for independence was fought to end colonial rule. The war was based on politics and a separation of powers. In this essay I will start from the rising annoyance amongst the indigenous population and how the higher ranking classes exploited their failures for their own societal class gain in a system where they have always been favored more by societal leaders. Once New Spain established its new territory, inner cores were created as part of the system. New Spain would be under direction of the mother country Spain.
The most important change as it was always the main cause of suppression was the economic reforms that were implemented to the people, in addition to that, the change came with the implementation of state monopolies on liquor and tobacco in order to keep the items out of the contraband trade and increase government revenue. Along with taxes, the system of market took many changes, in turn reducing the power of the merchant class. Merchants along with artisans, formed guilds and became a major force on politics. The fiscal administration also took changes with improvements to things such as inaccurate record keeping and suspicion of fraud. Politics and reasoning was also greatly affected by the reforms.
The war also doubled Britain’s debt which led to the passing of the Sugar Act, which taxed sugar going into the colonies. The colonists believed they needed representation in order to be taxed and therefore didn’t want to pay any new taxes which led to reduced trade and protests as the colonial economy suffered. As a result the British passed the Quartering Act, sending more troops in, as well as the Currency Act and the Stamp Act, which gave Britain control over the colonial economy and established more taxes. The Committee of Correspondence was established as a result of the Currency Act to coordinate action against Britain. As a result of the Stamp Act the sons and daughters of liberty were formed; they led resistance efforts to end the Stamp Act.
While the sale of the territory by Spain back to France in 1800 went largely unnoticed, fear of an eventual French invasion spread nationwide when, in 1801, Napoleon sent a military force to secure New Orleans. Southerners feared that Napoleon would free all the slaves in Louisiana, which could trigger slave uprisings elsewhere. [8] Though Jefferson urged moderation, Federalists sought to use this against Jefferson and called for hostilities against France. Undercutting them, Jefferson took up the banner and threatened an alliance with Britain, although relations were uneasy in that direction. [8] In 1801 Jefferson supported France in its plan to take back Saint-Domingue, then under control of Toussaint Louverture after a slave rebellion.
America’s decision to declare independence form Great Britain was both due the change of economic policies and to the development of refining life and liberty. After driving the French out, with help from the Indians and British troops, colonist began to quarrel with Parliament’s insistence of testing the limits of their power in North America. Their control was made difficult when residents decided to smuggle and boycott goods. Eventually, the colonies resistance and loss of patience would lead them directly to independence. The Proclamation of 1763 was the first to anger the colonist.
They were just fighting because they wanted to reform their government. But for America it was much more than fighting to reform their government. It was about fighting to part ways with Britain. It was about fighting for independence. France wasn’t part of the colonies like America was, America was sick of being treated badly, and unfairly so they decided to fight.
They concerned about the geographical distance between the two regions created an independent feeling itself , for those who are colonizing in the new world, generally want to have more freedom, adventure, and opportunity. The era of Enlightenment also spreaded from the Old World to the New World, as concepts of limited government, separation of powers, consent of the governed, and the social contract were gleaned upon the founding fathers of the Americas. The thought of colonial legislatures also were looked upon by the colonists, having the colonists not follow the rules and laws established by Great Britain, who later on curtailed upon it. This led to some negative concern from the Americans to the British. The enlightenment thought of lax enforcement of external trade relations became part of the mindset to.
Exploration, discovery, and hardships can simply summarize expansion from Europe to the “New World.” Explorers from both Spain and England came over to the new land, and they established homes and encountered several new and difficult situations. The Spanish settled lower into South America, whilst the British opted for the East Coast of North America. Both European countries differed in cultures and beliefs, yet both desired more land. What is even more, they were both culturally and economically affected by the Indians of the Americas because of their different approaches to the Indians. The Spanish aspired to conquer the Indians and their land and they forced their religion onto the Indians.
Essay#1 – Revolutionary war There were many reasons for the American Revolution. Two of them were the economic and political changes that the colonies were going through. Only the southern colonies were bound to England by the tobacco trade and the New England and Middle Colonies, unable to find markets in Britain. The cause of the revolutionary war was definitely economic. The British throne, trying to pay off it's war debts and for the cost of protecting the colonists from local Native Americans, decided to impose taxes on the American colonists.
